Scottish Schools Indoor Championships
Emirates Arena, 5th/6th February 2020
Under 16s report

In the under 16 age group Connor Bell of Balfron HS was the standout performance. In the heats Connor cruised round in 4:22.06 to qualify. This time was in fact enough to set a new club under 15 indoor record. In the final he ran away from the field and smashed his club record to take gold in a superb 4:12.08 minutes. He followed this with a fine silver in the 800m as he came close to his own club record with 2:05.39. Behind Connor Cameron MacMillan (Dollar Academy) placed 10th after setting a pb 4:22.61 to reach the final.
Katherine Fowler was Central’s other winner in the 60m. She had the worst possible start to her competition. When cruising at the end of her 200m heat she caught a spike in the track and took a tumble meaning she was unable to finish. She was left with friction burns on her knee but returned the next day for the 60m. She safely negotiated her heat in a pb 8.08s then semi final in 8.19s but was up against stiff competition in the final. However she ran away from the field to win in a personal best 8.05s. This was Katherine’s first ever gold medal in a national level event.
Euan Wilbert of McLaren high was on great form in the 60m hurdles as he took silver in a personal best 9.04s. Central had 3 athletes in the final with Robb Ferguson (Lornshill Academy) just out of the medals in 4th with 9.30s after a pb 9.20s in the heats, which would have earned him a medal in the final. Tyler Hunter (Dollar Academy) reached his first ever national final placing 8th, after a pb 9.49s in the heats.
Amy Cully of Wallace High was on superb form in the 800m as she smashed her pb with 2:21.87 minutes to take a bronze medal. This was Amy’s first ever medal at a national level event.
In the boys 800m, Ruaridh Burns ran a pb 2:10.89 minutes to reach the B final.
In the field Jack Campbell was just outside the medals in the pole vault as he cleared a pb 2.40m for 4th.
